Frequently Asked Questions

Agnes Video Generator is a completely free, open-source AI video generation tool. It uses Agnes AI's free models to turn text descriptions into narrated, subtitled multi-scene AI videos. No subscription, no credit card, and no usage limits are required.

Yes, 100% free. All AI capabilities — text generation, image generation, video generation, and voice synthesis — are powered by free models from Agnes AI. There are no watermarks, no token limits, and no hidden costs.

Clone the GitHub repository (github.com/lcy362/agnes-video-generator), install dependencies, configure your API keys, and launch the application. The entire setup takes about 2 minutes. You can start creating videos immediately after setup.

Basic familiarity with running commands in a terminal is helpful for the initial setup. After that, the web interface is intuitive — just type your video idea in plain language and click generate. No coding or video editing experience is required.

You can create three types of videos: Simple Video (a single clip from one text prompt), Creative Video (multi-scene story videos with AI-generated narration and subtitles), and Manuscript Video (convert long articles or scripts into narrated video presentations).

The interface supports 7 languages: Chinese, English, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, and Indonesian. Video narration supports multiple voice roles via Microsoft Edge TTS, including 4 Chinese voice characters.

Yes. You can control video resolution, duration, generation mode, seed values, negative prompts, character reference images, custom end frames, and video chaining modes (keyframes/ti2vid/none). Subtitle styling is also fully customizable.

Agnes Video Generator uses Microsoft Edge TTS (text-to-speech) for narration. It generates word-level timestamps for precise subtitle synchronization. The narration is automatically created based on your video's script or story content.

Multiple resolutions are supported, including standard and HD options. The exact resolutions depend on the underlying AI video model capabilities. You can select your preferred resolution before generating.

Agnes Video Generator runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It requires Node.js 18+ and a modern web browser. Since all AI processing happens via cloud APIs, your local machine's hardware specs are not a bottleneck.

You need API keys for the AI services used (Agnes AI for text/image/video generation, and optionally Microsoft Edge TTS for narration). All the required APIs offer free tiers, so there is no cost involved.

Yes. The Manuscript Video mode is designed for batch processing — it takes a long text, splits it into segments, and generates videos for each segment sequentially with unified narration and subtitles.

Agnes Video Generator has a checkpoint resume feature. If a generation task is interrupted (network issue, system restart, etc.), it automatically resumes from the last successful checkpoint when restarted, so you don't lose progress.

Agnes Video Generator is self-hosted and open-source. Your prompts, generated content, and API keys stay on your local machine. No data is sent to any third-party servers beyond the AI API endpoints you configure.

Unlike Runway, Pika, and Sora, Agnes Video Generator is completely free and open-source. While paid tools may offer higher resolution or longer clips, Agnes provides the full pipeline — story generation, multi-scene video, narration, subtitles, and final output — at zero cost.

Most free AI video tools only generate short clips from single prompts. Agnes Video Generator provides a complete production pipeline with three creation modes, AI narration, automatic subtitles, and multi-scene storytelling — features typically found only in paid professional tools.

The software itself is open-source under the MIT license. Whether you can use the generated videos commercially depends on the terms of the underlying AI model APIs you configure. Check the terms of service for each API provider.
